Overview
- Liverpool FC said neither the club nor Diogo Jota’s family has any connection to diogojotafoundation.org.
- The site, launched three days after Jota’s death, displayed partner logos including Unicef, Allianz and the Portuguese Platform, which organisations said were used without permission.
- Allianz confirmed no partnership and said it is pursuing action to have the website shut down by the appropriate authorities.
- The Charity Commission reported no registration application for the purported foundation, while the Fundraising Regulator advised donors to avoid unregistered appeals.
- Crypto processor NOWPayments said it processed no transactions for the site and has disabled its services, as the domain now redirects to a hosting privacy page.
